MY SHADOW.
By: Robert Louise Stevensons.

I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,

And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;
And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.

the funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow

Not at all like proper children, whis is always very slow;
for he sometimes shoots up taller like an India - rubber ball,
And he sometimes gets so littel that there's none of him at all.

one morning very early, before the sun was up,

I rose and found the shining dew on every buttercup;
But my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy-head,
had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.

Test 15.
Read the following text and answer the questions below.

Do we know the food we consume is free of germs which can cause over 200 diseases ranging
from diarrhoea to cancer?. Every year diarrhoea caused by contaminated food and water, kills 2.2
million people, including 1.9 million children globally. Unsafe food kills an estimated 700.000
children in South- East Asia every year.

Food safety is critical for public health as food - borne diseases affect peoplel’s health and well-
being. Unsafe food creates a visious cycle of disease and malnutrition, particularly affecting
infants, young children, the elderly and the sick. Food- borne diseases impede socio - economic
development by straining health care systems and adversely impacting national economies,
tourism and trade. Since food passes through multiple hands from the farm to reach our plates,
ensuring food safety requires multi- sectional collaboration. the approach needs to be preventive
to improve food safety and quality through application of good farming practices by using agro
chemicals or veterinary drugs only in the prescribed amount. Good storage, transportation, retail
and restaurant practices are equally important to make food safe.

Street foods are emerging as an important source of food for a large propotion of the population
in urban and peri- urban settings. Street food as a source of food - borne diseases, therefore,
assumes public health significance.
Countries need to have a comrehensive food safety policy, legislation and national food safety
programmes encompassing all the sectors and aspects for food safety. Enforcement of food safety
policies in the region remains a challenge. Food quality and safety standards are usually strictly
followed for exportable food commodities, but not always enforced for food destined for the
domestic market. Food safety and quality should be ensured through tight control and inspection
mechanisms for export as well as the domestic market.

1) Write True or False in the space provided beside each sentence.

a) Farmers alone are not responsible for ensuring food safety. (........)
b) Unsafe Food creates a vicious cycle of disease and malnutrition. (........)
c) Countries do not have a comprehensive food safety policy. (........)
d) Ensuring food safety requires multi- sectional collaboration. (........)

2) Howmany children are killed due to unhygienic food and water in South -East Asia annualy?
......................................................................................................................................
3) What good farming practices can contribute towards food safety? (1 mark)
